The South has now 64,035 miJei of railroad, exclusive of double-track, side-track and terminal duplications. Since 1880 there have been built io the South 43,423 miles of new railroads or extensions of existing lines, the rate of InflMooa in that nprin/) hnointr hppr. 210 per cent, in the South, against 117 per. cent in the rest of the country, and the South's added mileage alone ' is greater than the total mileage in the country in 1860. The mileage in the South has been increased during the , 10 years at the rate, of nearly 1600 an- , nually, and during the past five years at the rate of more than 2000 miles annually. The cost of this building and these improvements during the 26 years has approached a total of more than $1,750,000,000. As in other parts of the country, this investment of cash and the coincident enterprise of ] railroad managements have nqt been sufficient to meet the calls of theSouth for internal transportation, or to allay 1 the growth at times of a public sentiment, more often unreasoning than reasonable, finding expression in legislation, national and State, tending to eripple still further the efforts of the railroads to serve the section in whose prosperity tfyey are vitally interested. ? ? ? ] Tbe Weather and Rhenmatlmn. Did you ever talk with a rheumatic 1 friend about his aches and pains ? It's dollars to doughnuts he would blame , the weather according to the degree of J his suffering. And at first glance he would seem to have good grounds for 1 his opinion, as during the bad months, when clammy damp days alternate with cold snaps and every imaginable kind of weather may be experienced within twenty-four hours, rheumatic pains often run riot, while in fair weather the aches are sometimes forgotten. [ Weather conditions, however, have very little to do with such tioubles, i and nothing at all to do with their or- 1 igin. There are many heartj^ut-door laborers, such as car men, linemen and 2 memDers 01 tne Dunaing crafts wno are never affected, while some of the greatest sufferers may be found among people whose business does not expose them to the weather. . It has long been conceded that rheumatism is strictly a blood disease arising from excessive uric acid, and can ] only be cured Dy purification. What seems to he the most satisfactory agent for this purpose, that of thoroughly cleansing and purifying the blood, is one known as Andes' Great Prescription. Hundreds of rather remarkable cures have been reported to its credit, and C. A. Milford, Abbeville, S. C., ] who handle it, say it is the largest and most satisfactory seller for rheumatic affections in their store. The price of the medicine is one dollar per bottle, three for two dollars and a half, ana six bottles for five dollars. We would advise a trial by all who are afflicted with rheumatism. > ' | ( Southern Schedule. > Leaves? 7.50 a m going East. 10.00 a m golDg East and West. 1 2 45 p m going West.

Hnoy ?re Converted?Will be in Abbeville for Anoitier Week. The issues of the revival meetings of the Christian Crusaders are encouraging. The interest in these services is not abating, but is rather on the increase. r,,L - ^ i Ssvn fitror ovfmi_ Hie yiauuessi iu?iiiim?ii vaivu (led to man?"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give vou rent," and similar gracious invitations from God, which include all classes aud conditions of men, all races and nationalities, upon the condition that they will repent and forsake their sins, are being extended through these servants of God in their meetings nightly, and are substantiated with God's immutable assurance: "Him that cometh unto Me, I will in'nowise cast out." Borne have accepted the invitation, have donned the wedding varment of righteousness, and have made preparation logo in unto the "wedding xupper of the Lamb." Mercy's door still ?Iuu<1h open, that all who have not made the necesnary preparation, may enter, ere it he forever loo late. The testimonial; services which have been n>inlueted have proved (o be a bles-iu*:, n? I only to God's ehndreu who have participated in ttiem, btu a Ism to the uut>aved. In ?.ue of ibc.se services held during tne week God'n >pirit was wonderfully poured out upon he people. The following express ii:-, comiug from hearts which are in touch with God, aiv worthy of tioW':iud cou sideration. ' I want-to tehtity to the fact tlmfc 0< <i has saved Since my couverni'.u I Lave given up the use of tobacco. 1 could not do this uutil after I surrendered myself <o God," said a young mau who baa recently been brought into tbe light ot God's salvation. A mau who has been in the Christian way for only a week spoke thus: *'1 have felt better this week than I have ever felt before in my lite. Jesus bus been with me at my w#k He bun beeu all around uie and tfle most glorious thing about it is that my wife is going with me in the "narrow way." His wife was saved a few nights after he came to Christ. "God has forgiven my sins and has given me the evidence that be has done so. I have companion ship and fellowship with Him," said a young convert. "I laid down my (.ins and every sinful habit on tbe 21st of May, and I mean to be faithful to God'evau unto the end." said another person who has recently found Christ. "1 feel that I love God above everything in this world. I have consecrated my life to Him to work for the salvation of the unsaved. I am in sympathy with t^je work of the Crusaders. Tbe possibility of tbiB town being stirred through these tent meetings is great." very earnestly remarked one of God's aggressive workers. An aged soldier of the cross said: "I feel, a joy and peace In my heart which in undisturbed by tbe world or tbe devil. 1 am walking by God's 8i'*e ann have been doing so for twenty years. He has given me some of |imy children, right here under thie canvas, to go along with me to heaven." Tbe meetings of Suuday were largely attended, notwithstanding tbe fact that the weather conditions were Suite unfavorable. God poured out Tis Spirit upon the people. Christians were spiritually uplifted and sin* ners were convicted and brought to repentance. In tbe meeting of Sunday night Lieut. Morden preached a short Gospel sermon on tbe subject "Why am I not a Christian?", mentioning some of tbe excuses people give day after day for not- being Cbiristions. The following answers to the question "Why am I not a Christian?" and the passage or scripture correeponuing iu each answer were read: Ib it becouse I anu afraid of ridicule and of what others may say of me? "Whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of my words, of him shall the son of man be ashamed."?Luke 9:26. Is it because of the inconsistencies of professing Christians! "Every one of us shall give account of himself to God."?Rom. 14: 12. Is it because I may not make as much money? "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"?Mark 8: 36. Is it because I am not willing to give up all for Christ? "No man bath left house, or parents, or bretbern, or wife, or children for the Kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come ine-ever-iasiing. ojune 10: 30. Is it because I am afraid that I will not be accepted. "Him tbat cometh to Me I will in no Wi6e cast out."?John 6: 37. Is it because I am afraid tbat I will not "hold out?" "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded tbat He is able to keep that which I bave committed unto Him against tbat day."?2 Tim. 1: 12. Is it because I sm thinking tbat I will do as well as I can, and that God ought to be satisfied with that? "Not by works5of righteousness which we bave done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost."?Tit. 3; 5. Is it because I am postponing the matter, without any definite reason? "Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for tnou KQOWesi DOC wuai a uay ujaj bring forth.?Pro. 27:1. When the meeting wa8 turned six persons came to the altar to seek the Lord and five of the number, before tbe meeting was brought to a Close, professed to have found Him. In the meeting of Monday night five more persons were blessedly saved. Tbe meetings will be continued (for another week. Examlnatiou.
